1969 Montgomery Wards Riverside 125cc Benelli Cobra

Offering up a true gem here. This is a 1969 Montgomery Wards Riverside 125cc motorcycle manufactured by Benelli. This bike is also known as the Benelli Cobra from my research. A friend's father purchased this back new in 1969 from Montgomery Wards rode it for 6039 miles drained all the fluids and put it into storage. It has been in storage in a dry climate for the last 40 years until I recently revived it. We put some oil in the case a little bit of fuel in the tank and it fired right up first try. We rode it in a circle in our driveway until it was out of fuel and now I am offering it here. Please note the tires on this motorcycle while they hold air are the originalPirellitires that came on this bike in 1969. That would make them 46 years old so I would recommend replacing them if you had intentions of taking this bike on the road. The bike is complete with the following.
